Specialised Imaging has released the SIM02 high-speed framing camera, which combines ultra-high resolution image intensifiers with double-pulsing techniques.
The optical design of the SIM02 offers up to 16 separate channels, giving 32 separate images without compromising on image quality.
Effects such as parallax and shading, inherent in other framing camera designs, are eliminated and the high spatial resolution (> 30lp/mm) is the same frame-to-frame and in both axes.
Individual ultra-high resolution intensified CCD detectors offer almost infinite control over gain and exposure, allowing researchers total freedom to capture images of even the most difficult phenomena.
The -8, -16 and -32 version of this imaging system also incorporate a secondary optical viewport, which allows other analytical instruments such as high-speed video, streak camera or time-resolved spectrometer to share the camera's optical input.
Full remote control using Ethernet comes as standard, while an integral TFT monitor allows users to 'see what the camera sees' in real time, allowing easy optimisation of focus and lighting.
Comprehensive triggering facilities, accurate timing control, and a range of output signals, coupled with a software package simplifies quality image capture.
